VX For: superhump period

   We have received further observations from Berto Monard and Peter Nelson.
The combined data yielded a mean superhump period of 0.06242(5) d.
A preliminary O-C analysis suggests that a sudden decrease in the superhump
period likely occurred during this interval (likely stage A-B transition).
The mean period after Sep. 15.8 has been 0.0620(2) d.
The light curve is slightly structured, suggesting the presence of
quasi-periodic oscillations similar to super-QPOs.
Such a large outburst amplitude is relatively rare for this superhump period.
Further observations are strongly encouraged.
